    There will certainly be several thousand more chances:

    With a 100 percent success rate and 61 consecutive successful launches, the Atlas II family has a reliability record unmatched in the industry.

    If I was going to spend several million to launch a Satellite, this would certainly be the system I'd use- and it's reliability means there will be live reruns of this for every launch until they can't make money launching satellites anymore.
